Channel Title: Potential History Channel Description: Did you ever hear the tragedy of King Tiger the heavy? I thought not. It's not a story the Panzerwaffe would tell you. It's a Wehraboo legend. King Tiger was a Heavy Tank of the Wehrmacht, so Armored and so deadly he could use his cannon to influence the 88mm shells to Burn Shermans... He had such an unnecessary amount of armor that he could even keep the ones who crewed him, from dying. The German tank design theory is a pathway to many monstrosities some consider to be under powered. What happened to him? He became so up-armored and heavy... the only thing he was afraid of was destroying his transmission, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his adversaries everything he knew, then his adversaries copied the good parts of his design after the war. It's ironic he could save others from damage, but not himself. <video> U.S. Small Arms Description: This is very much an overview making a specific point, however I look forward to seeing the gun nerds fight it out in the comments.

Many of these have made a mockery of the soldier's oath of obedience to military orders. When it suits their purpose they say they had to obey; when confronted with Hitler's brutal crimes which are shown to have been within their general knowledge, they say they disobeyed. The truth is they actively participated in all these crimes, or sat silent and acquiescent, witnessing the commission of crimes on a scale larger and more shocking than the world has ever had the misfortune to know." -Arthur Comyns Carr Support me on: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/potentialhistory PayPal: potentialhistory@gmail.com Connect with me on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tank_Memes?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PotentialHistory/?ref=br_rs </video> <video> Monte Cassino Part 2: The Forgotten Reality Description: Play Call of War for FREE on PC, iOS or Android: https://callofwar.onelink.me/q5L6/PotentialHistory Receive a Unique Starter Pack, available only for the next 30 days!

Brought to you by Raycon. A short(ish) one to kind of spur a discussion and talk about one of the often left out aspects of the success of the Germans early in the war. As I said in the video, this is one of many reasons they were able to have the effect they had early on, but a very big one from where I stand as it is the basis of quite a few cultural things in the army that had influences that were far reaching.

Full interviews with both guests are available on Patreon for $1 and up! https://www.patreon.com/potentialhistory After a long wait, I have returned to cover the story of the first successful (technically) military submarine the H.L. Hunley and the mystery of it’s sinking. Although it did kill a bigh fuck off warship, it killed 4x more operators than enemies and was most effective at sinking itself. For this video we have a first on the channel, input and interview clips from two leading experts on the Hunley, Dr Rachel Lance and Michael Scafuri. Please check their respective organizations and books below, they both have done excellent work with the topic and if you are interested in the Hunley they have a ton of material on it. It’s been a long break, and I appreciate all the emails and comments I’ve gotten showing support and concern, but I have a lot planned and am looking forward to a lot more videos.

I have only scratched the surface of debunking them compared to what is contained within it and all my information comes from it. Volume 3 is where all of the debunking is, the first two are their research and findings that they then use to debunk the conspiracies. I have not read the entire report, but I have read the parts I needed for the video and it is a really good read. You’d assume a DOD report like this would be very dry and make any topic boring, but it’s actually really good if this is a topic you’re interested in.

Big thanks to our sponsor World of Tanks! Well, this is the next to last video of the series, as I worked on it I am doubting the wisdom of doing the "minor" allies as this video took a long time and was very difficult for two reasons. First, apparently cameras were a rare sight in these countries because clips and even photos were HARD to find. Normally when I can't find visuals for a specific thing in a video I'll do my best but I'm alright with some holes as long as the basis of the visuals are accurate to the topic, but on this one in the first draft I had next to nothing and it makes me worried about the allied countries. But second, this video became tedious around country two, with similar stories across the board and it makes me worry about the Allies video because I don't want it to just be "Shermans/British tanks 2 The Video". Yes, there are some examples of domestic production in places like Canada, but I don't want to have another one that is a big repeat like this one so I may merge the conclusion video with the Minor Allies video depending on how it begins to form as I work on it. Anyways hope you all like it. Sorry about the bamboozle with Finland, but it really didn't fit in here by definition and didn't want to lump it into a place it didn't belong. I'm sure they will be covered one day. Hope the situation wherever you are is okay and that you all are staying safe and I'll see you all with another one soon. Also happy Hitler's birthday everybody.. and actually it's mine too.. really bad luck.. I'm 25 ._. Sources Jean Restayn, WWII Tank Encyclopedia (Paris, France: Histoire & Collections, 2007) Steven J.

Description

Did you ever hear the tragedy of King Tiger the heavy? I thought not. It's not a story the Panzerwaffe would tell you. It's a Wehraboo legend. King Tiger was a Heavy Tank of the Wehrmacht, so Armored and so deadly he could use his cannon to influence the 88mm shells to Burn Shermans... He had such an unnecessary amount of armor that he could even keep the ones who crewed him, from dying. The German tank design theory is a pathway to many monstrosities some consider to be under powered. What happened to him? He became so up-armored and heavy... the only thing he was afraid of was destroying his transmission, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his adversaries everything he knew, then his adversaries copied the good parts of his design after the war. It's ironic he could save others from damage, but not himself.
